Cameron {and} Bethany

On Friday, May 23rd we went to the Bee's game with Cam's family and got to watch the fireworks afterwards. While the fireworks were going off they were playing American themed music for the memorial holiday. It started to get me thinking about how often we take our country and our freedom for granted. When 9/11 happened, it seemed to bring everyone together, but only for a moment. Every passing day we take our country for granted more and more. I definitely feel honored and have great gratitude for those that fight for our freedom everyday. I also started to think about how irritated and disappointed it makes me to see bad things happen in the world. Every night on the news I hear about another teen fight caught on tape, or who said what against who in the Presidential Elections. It kills me to see everyone against everyone. Aren't we all on the same team? Setting all the bad stuff aside, I'm still proud of where I'm from. I'm still proud of the people that live in America. Because with all the bad news, you still have good news. I mean, there are 800,000 charities in the US alone so there is good around us, I just wish we could hear more good, and less bad. I hope that my kids can enjoy their country just as much as I do. I hope you all have a fantastic Memorial's Day!!
